First the details...

I have a bit of (ok, a LOT) of adult ADD symptoms, just ask any of my friends.

I've recently gotten my first motorcycle (actually, 2 of them within a month) and want to get into some motorcycle-hammock camping. What 2 bikes? Glad you asked... 08 Ninja 250R is my commuter, and my project bike is a 1993 VFR750F.

After seeing the ENO double nest in the Rock/Creek store in Chattanooga last weekend, my gf and I have been talking about getting a bigger hammock. Our first was just a 1 person, canvas hammock that stays in our backyard. I saw on Woot the other day that they had a Yukon Outfitters "double" hammock for $25 shipped, so why not!

Just got it yesterday and looking forward to learning some tips and tricks from all y'all Pros! I'm also a bit of an AW, so once I get this figured out, there will certainly be pics.

I messed up and didn't have my Subscriptions set right (thanks for the crappy default VBulliten)...

My finishing time was actually 1:21:07. They did a time trial start....

Welcome from MA! I can't wait to hear some of your adventures!

Thanks y'all!

I couldn't resist a quick try-out.

Welcome to the addiction from SC. From the foot photo, it looks like you need to get more of a diagonal lay. I highly recommend getting the book "The Ultimate Hang" and attending a group hang. The book is a primer for hammock hanging and the group hang is fun and you get to meet great people and see all kinds of cool gear.

It amazes me (in a great way) to see how serious everyone takes hammocks.

After i took the pic, I realized that I was flexing my legs a bit. Once I put the phone down, I settled in and got comfy. Plus I figured out that hanging both feet out, makes the sides stand up straight and block the sun out of my face.
